Heceta Head Lighthouse is located north of Florence at the Heceta Head Lighthouse State Scenic Viewpoint. Lighthouse tours are available daily from March through October. Off-season and group tours are available by appointment by calling (541)547-3416. An interpretive center is located in the lightkeeper's house and a gift shop is located in the generator room. The assistant lightkeeper's house is now a bed and breakfast.

A series of trails, part of the Cape Perpetua Scenic Area in Siuslaw National Forest, provide spectacular views of both the rugged seacoast and its wild inhabitants. Famous for being the most photographed lighthouse in the United States, the Heceta Head Lighthouse is one of Oregon's most popular lighthouses.
